This past Monday the US Interior Department launched a set of new policies that will now require thousands of law enforcement personnel to wear body cameras. The new policies also ensure the release of footage in some critical incidents and restrict the use of no-knock warrants. This, hopefully, will build more trust between the public at large and federal law enforcement agents. The policies impact thousands of law enforcement officers who work for the Interior Department, as well as the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the National Park Service. This change continues the countries efforts at social justice and moves forward the concept of law enforcement transparency.
